I think that people have to just go with their gut and follow their passion if they're photographers.

I think my most favorite subject was Lena Horne, because she embodies soul and grace and elegance and 'street'. She embodies everything. And beauty — great beauty.

I don't photograph anyone if I can't meet with them first because if I don't do that, then they're just going to the dentist and they're filled with fear. They don't know who I am.

My days are kind of controlled by my projects, so sometimes they're album covers. Sometimes they're commission portrait shoots. Sometimes they are editorial, so it kind of - I don't dictate it.

When people warn me about someone - the label head or the publishing head - that somebody is difficult, I'm in heaven.

Giving someone their style or bumping up their sense of style to be a better version of what it is, is part of the fun of what I do, and I actually approached Al Sharpton. They didn't come to me.

There are certain people that you don't have to even work at extracting their inner life. It is just there and they're happy to share it with you.

I guess I'm half traditionalist, half modern girl and I just never... I love the digital world and I love electronica and after I shoot everything is digital, but I just... I don't know.

You know a photo session is really a dance and making sure that they're comfortable and for me it's the music, the music, the music. That is everything.

Joyful peace pervades my being for all time.

Networking means the act of exchanging information with people who can help you professionally.

A communication highway without content is inconceivable.

If you begin to consider yourself solely responsible to a political party, you're half-way to a dictatorship.

I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don't feel like ADD has impaired my ability.

Keep alive the light of justice, And much that men say in blame will pass you by.

I would like travelers, especially American travelers, to travel in a way that broadens their perspective.

The Canadian painter A. Y. Jackson noted that 'failure of sight' was a tiresome problem. He meant we should be able to look at our work-in-progress as if it were previously unseen.

We need more NBA owners to own WNBA teams.

I don't even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can't get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time.
